Ingredients

• 32 ounces frozen tater tots
• 16 ounces ground breakfast sausage
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 stalks green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain any excess fat.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

Step 4

Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage layer.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese layers.

Step 7

Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the top of the casserole, ensuring they cover the surface completely.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots and return the dish to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 10

If desired, garnish with sliced green onions and serve warm. Enjoy!
